The generic Hearts thread

Guess there will be a civic reception today where Pele will hand over the Jules remit trophy to hearts for yesterday.

....and we might still get a giggle. I've said before, beating the huns at the pigsty is one thing....but are they up for a dogfight against the teams they really HAVE to take something from to stay up? Jury still out....

The high press is easier to achieve and harder for opposition to exploit when you are playing on a pitch that is 10% smaller than everyone else's. Lets see how they get on playing the same game away from home when the opposition have more space to exploit before we decide they're safe. They've 10 games left before the split with 6 of them being away from home, including games at Celtic, Livi, us and Aberdeen, it's not going to be easy.

I think they'll have enough to get out of trouble, but it's not going to be easy for them.

In the last week they have reduced the deficit from5 to 1 in 2 games which suggests they will be fine and have improved

The huns were as bad as I have seen them in the last couple of years yesterday.

They also had 3 glorious chances before they eventually scored so the result could have been entirely different.
In saying that fair play to the maroon flumps, what they lacked in ability they more than made up for in effort.

Minutes after the game, the muppets on Sportsound were singing their praises ( fair enough ) when one of them, kind of tongue in cheek, suggested that a European place is back on for them. They had a few embarrassed, nervous giggles, but one of them, it might have been Billy Dodds, got a bit serious and said that if they keep up that standard of performance, they could still get 4th place. :greengrin

The 2008 champions league win is back on.

I was impressed by the way he made space to get the shot away.

Fair play to them for winning yesterday. When we played the rangers it was ****ing horrific!! Whether they've turned a corner is another thing. Naismith will no doubt be injured again. If that comes just before the split they would struggle.

Yesterday was undoubtedly a good result for them however their pressing game left them exposed at the back and it took some last ditch defending to prevent Rangers scoring. As good as Defoe is, he's 37 and has lost some pace which helped Hearts get back and block in time. Continue to play like that and they will concede quite a lot of goals.

They won’t be able to high press their direct relegation brothers who will be shelling it long.

Was going to happen but Hearts rejected the civic option and insisted on full military honours with a marching band. Pele jetted in to Edinburgh and left kicking his heels and telling the usual anecdotes in the hotel bar.

Have to say, I found that really funny.

Not the first time a player has had success in Scotland then mediocrity in England, and vice versa

Craig Gordon seemingly on his way back to Hearts.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51292636

I always thought he was a bit overrated (the £9 million move to Sunderland was insane - though not as insane as the way Mad Vlad squandered the cash) and a bit of a big feardie for a guy of his size. However, what I'm wondering is where is the money coming from for what would surely be another big wage to fund at Tynie?

With guys like Levein (presumably on a very hefty salary) and most of his coaching team still drawing a wage along with players like Berra (not to mention the untold millions still being ploughed into the white elephant of a new stand), I'm rather baffled by the way money is being thrown around to such an extent. But then I guess they've wasted millions on dozens of duds throughout the Levein era so I can only guess Budge is content to just keep bankrolling whatever is deemed necessary to avoid relegation.

Sevco were pretty mince and with a small centre forward they kept trying to lump the ball in the air. The diet huns were no much better but got in about them with the two new signings looking useful. They may just avoid the play-offs now. The huns were stendelled and The messiah that is s. Geeee have ****ed it up once more. it now looks like the other cheek will roll on to another title.

The diets will be telling us now that they are heading for Europe.
Oops almost forgot **** the hertz

The St Mirren v Dons game was worse.

Lenny hates the Hearts and wants to make them sweat.

Craig Gordon trying to be a sweeper keeper under Stendel is a disaster waiting to happen. Hes dodgy with his feet and numerous times at celtic he made a hash of it.

Doesn’t like coming off his line for crosses either!

Celtic would be insane to let Craig Gordon go! I think Bain is injured and they need decent back up for Forster, they could get another goalie but at least they would know what they are getting with Gordon. Absolute madness to risk another goalie

There are a small band of posters who are obsessed with the Gorgie finances, who cares! We're in a different league, and literally will be when the split comes along! (Although I'd love more comms from Ron!), we are as stable as we have ever been.

They are obsessed with the SevCo fiances and that's cringy enough!

He is 2nd choice. Was on the bench for their last 3 games at least.

If the Tennants Sixes was still on, Herts could enter a team of goalies.
